PCMag's Twitter Top 100

Wondering who's worthwhile to follow on Twitter? Here's our picks for the 100 most interesting tweeters.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, you've never heard of Twitter, you just joined, or you don't use it to its full potential. While all of these are unlikely scenarios for PCMag readers, we're sure, it's possible you might still be missing out on following some of the greats who tweet. That's why we polled the staff here to find out just who the greatest voices are in microblogging.

We didn't want brands with anonymous minions or interns doing all the dirty work behind the scenes. We didn't want fictional characters (no matter how funny @DrunkHulk can be). We didn't want games and memes and spam.

Nor did we want to limit things to just the "twitterati" of people famous on Twitter for just knowing how to work social media or celebs, though we've got plenty of both. We've also got some fascinating people in this list you may never have heard of, side by side with the most powerful people alive (namely, the President and Oprah). We wanted to include real people with real names—and if they're big names, hopefully they have a Twitter verified account. What all of these folks have in common is that they use Twitter to its full potential to deliver news, entertainment, and social understanding.

So the next time you access your Twitter account and speed read through those you follow (and wonder "Why doesn't anyone say anything interesting anymore?"), check out our list of the Twitter Top 100.

Note: The number of followers listed for each was as of the writing of this article. These numbers have likely changed.
